where do you have your emerald installed...

[allen l]

I'm trying to figure out the best place for it now. I can install it at the same place of the original ecu, but if I look at the Emerald, it doesn't really look 'waterproof'...
Where do you have yours installed if you have one?

Oh, I ask this because I tend to use the car all year round. I'm not trying to kill the emerald because of snow, rain, etc...

I've done a few and they're either on the scuttle where the original (car dependant) one sat, or in the passenger footwell.

If you fit it on the scuttle it's possible to have access to the pc connector from the passenger seat

Footwell option is a bit nicer IMHO but really you need to fab up a new engine loom. Very cheap to do yourself, very expensive to get someone else to do it

If on the scuttle, I guess you mean on the inside of the car, right?
Think I'll put it there as I'm not making the loom myself.

Now, let's start thinking if I'm going to remove the heater. God, can't wait till it's finished.

Ours is mounted essentialy where the MEMS was -- except I clipped off most of the cable ties*, wrestled the harness around a bit and made it where the connector for the Emerald is on the cockpit side in our SV. That way were any fluids to get to it, it's at the back of the ECU thus less likely to get into the loom connector. HAs worked in every weather condition you can imagine!

• = remember to cable tie them back up!

Not a Caterham and I can't even claim credit for it (the builder was a bit of an obsessive and believed that all you should see in an engine bay is the engine...), but it's a tidy solution to the problem:

I do have to say I very much like that!
